If there’s one thing the Oculus Rift is fantastic at, it’s making things seem incredibly real. While some people would take this and apply it to beautiful scenery or a chance to dive into your favorite story world, one game developer is going to use this tech to inspire a whole new kind of nightmare.

Horror games are their own special kind of fun. The truly great games in this genre encourage you to start playing the games with the lights off and the volume up, and by the end you’ll only play when the sun is up and the volume is low.

Your environment has a lot to do with how scary the game actually is, which is one of the reasons a horror game on Oculus Rift has the potential to be truly terrifying. The Forest is being built specifically for scaring you when the only thing you can see is the game, and that could be an incredible experience.

We’ve already seen the results of putting users in scary situations while wearing the Oculus Rift. From roller coasters to beheadings, the rush you feel is fantastic and terrifying. You can’t turn your head to look away, or slam your body back against your chair to feel further away from what just happened in the game.

The Oculus Rift is going to take this game and make it your whole world until you take it off, and for those of us who are fans of the horror genre that opens the door for a whole new kind of gameplay. On top of this, you have the motion tracking and head controls in an engine that will respond in ways that make the experience all the more real because you can’t get away from it.
